Is it worth starting a mixing/mastering engineer career now?

Saw a recent video by White Sea Studio, a review of AI/ML-powered Neutron 5 and it concerns me that the plugin actually did its work better (or at least on the same level, I'm not a professional to judge).

So, honest question, is it worth starting a sound engineering career now? I'm finishing school in 2025 and until I graduate uni/academy or at least obtain decent skills to mix/master for others, it's gonna take a few years (even considering that I've already been doing this for myself). And seeing such plugins doing better work than a professional engineer like him genuinely worries me. It seems like to earn a decent amount of money form this job you must be so unique that people actually hear the difference between AI processing and your work, which a lot of people, who buy mixes or masters won't really hear from now on with such tools on market. I don't think I'd convince a random producer, who doesn't know much about sound engineering, that I can do better than an AI plugin that he found, which he can buy for once and use forever in all his songs. Because it does sound good. I'm not excluding the fact that some producers, who know how to mix and master, still send their projects to engineers, but in that case it would be a high-skilled one with a reputation. But everyone has to start from something right? It was possible a few years ago, but now it seems to be really tough. It's like you have to skip the "gaining experience and reputation" stage, because it's now replacable by AI

I might be wrong with my statements tho, I'd be glad if I was. This job is my dream, so I hope some of you guys know how I can pursue this goal :)
